All of those with the 50 BMG rifles, besides paper target and concrete blocks, what game to you shoot?

I imagine that coyotes explode just like prairie do with my 22-250.

Unfortunately, I can't shoot at trucks that don't know when to stop Gene.

Only animal I've taken is a small Arkansas does at 650+ yards.  Textbook shot, but she ran about 1/4mile.  Seems there wasn't enough matter/material to cause any expansion of the 750gr Hornady AMAX.  The projectile was never found(image that).  Guess I should have shot through a tree or something?

At a little over $7.50 per reloaded round, I would hesitate to waste that much cash on a coyote.  Unless I could get two or three of them lined up......
